Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to retreaded tires and more specifically to retreaded tires having tread bands with grooves open to the front face and grooves open to the back face of the tread band.
  • the present invention relates to a tread band according to the preamble of claim 1, such as it is for example known from WO2008054387 A1 .
  • One of the first steps in retreading a worn tire is to remove remaining tread material from the tire carcass, for example, by a procedure known as buffing.
  • a layer of green (uncured) rubber known as "cushion gum”
  • This layer of uncured rubber may be extruded directly onto or rolled (stitched) onto the carcass.
  • a tread band is applied atop the layer of cushion gum.
  • the tread is uncured rubber and typically may have no or very little tread pattern when initially placed on the tire carcass.
  • the tire with the uncured tread is placed in a tire mold and heated under pressure for an appropriate time to cure the gum layer and the tread, to mold the tread with the desired tread pattern, and to cause the gum layer to bond with the tread and the carcass.
  • cure refers to the formation of cross-links between the elastomer molecules in the rubber compound, otherwise known as vulcanization.
  • the present invention provides a tread band according to claim 1 as well as a method for retreading a tire according to claim 12.
  • the dependent claims relate to advantageous embodiments.
  • Particular embodiments of the present invention include tread bands for use on retreaded tires, retreaded tires having such tread bands and methods for retreading a tire using such tread bands.
  • Such embodiments include a tread band for bonding to a bonding surface of a tire being retreaded.
  • the tread band may include a primary groove having a top opening that is open to a ground contacting front face of the tread band and a secondary groove having a bottom opening that is open to a back face of the tread band.
  • the groove top of the secondary groove is higher than a groove bottom of the primary groove so that the secondary groove top is opened to the ground contacting front face of the tread band prior to disappearance by wear of the primary groove.
  • Particular embodiments may also further include an overflow reservoir having a reservoir opening that is open to the back face of the tread band, the reservoir opening being positioned adjacent to an edge of the secondary groove bottom opening.
  • Particular embodiments include methods for retreading a tire, one such method being providing a base portion of a tire to be retreaded, the base portion comprising a crown section, bead portions, and sidewalls extending between the bead portions and the crown section, the crown section including a prepared surface for bonding a tread band thereto.
  • the method may further include providing a tread band, the tread band comprising a primary groove having a top opening that is open to a ground contacting front face of the tread band and a secondary groove having a bottom opening that is open to a back face of the tread band.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional partially exploded view of an exemplary retread tire of the prior art.
  • the retread tire 10 is shown comprising a tire carcass 12 having a crown section 14, a reinforcement package 16 and a sidewall section 11.
  • the retread tire further includes a cushion gum layer 18 and a precured tread band 20.
  • the cushion gum layer 18 is an example of the material that may be used to bond the tread band 20 to the crown section 14 area of the retread tire 10.
  • the precured tread band 20 includes a front face 23 that contacts the ground and provides traction.
  • Primary tread grooves 24 open to the front face 23 of the tread band.
  • the tread band 20 further includes the back face 22 that is bonded to the crown section 14 of the tire 10 by the cushion gum layer 18.
  • Secondary grooves 25 open to the back face of the tread band 20.
  • the secondary grooves 25 molded into the tread band 20 are open to the back face 22 of the tread band, these secondary grooves do not provide usable tread depth or volume until the tread band 20 is worn to a depth that opens the secondary groove 25 to the front face.
  • the secondary groove 25 becomes exposed and open to the front face 23 to provide the void volume and/or depth of the exposed groove in the tread. This allows the tread band 20 to be worn down to a level much closer to the rear face 22 of the tread band, allowing more of the tread band to be utilized before the tire is discarded or again retreaded..
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B are partial cross-sectional views of an exemplary tread band before and after being cured during a retreading process.
  • the tread band rests upon the cushion gum layer 18 before the retreaded tire has been cured.
  • the tire being retreaded is placed in an autoclave and heated under pressure for an appropriate time to induce curing (formation of cross-links between the elastomer molecules in the cushion gum, tire carcass and tread band) in the rubber of the cushion gum layer and the bonding of the cushion gum layer to the tread and the carcass.
  • curing formation of cross-links between the elastomer molecules in the cushion gum, tire carcass and tread band
  • the cushion gum material softens and, as a result of the combination of tread curvature change and the curing pressure, the cushion gum flows into the secondary groove.
  • FIG. 2B illustrates how the cushion gum 18 material flowed into the secondary groove 25, partially filling it and reducing its depth. With the depth of the secondary groove 25 reduced, the useful life of the tread is also reduced since that portion of the groove that has been filled with the cushion gum is no longer available as open groove.
  • the tread band further includes an overflow reservoir that is adjacent to a first edge of the secondary groove bottom opening.
  • the overflow reservoir includes a reservoir opening that is open to the back face of the tread band, just as is the secondary groove bottom opening. Then, during the curing stage of the retread process, the bonding material, e.g., cushion gum, flows preferentially into the overflow reservoir and not into the secondary groove.
  • FIG: 3A is a partiat, cross-sectional view of an exemplary tread band in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIGs. 3B-3C are partial cross-sectional views of exemplary tread bands.
  • the exemplary tread band 30 shows a primary groove 31 having a top 34 that is open to the ground contacting front face 32 of the tread band.
  • a secondary groove 39 having a bottom opening 35 that is open to the back face 43 of the tread band 30.
  • the groove top 38 of the secondary groove 39 is higher (closer to the ground contacting face of the tread band) than the groove bottom 33 of the primary groove 31. This arrangement provides that as the tire wears, the secondary groove top 38 will open to the front face 32 of the tread band prior to the disappearance by wear of the primary groove 31 .
  • tread bands 30 further show an overflow reservoirs 36 having a reservoir opening 37 that is open to the back face 43 of the tread band 30 .
  • the reservoir opening 37 is positioned adjacent to an edge 46A of the secondary groove bottom opening 35.
  • Particular embodiments may further include an additional overflow reservoir 47 having an opening to the back face 43 of the tread band 30, the additional reservoir opening being positioned adjacent to an opposite edge 46B of the secondary groove bottom opening 35 .
  • the depth of the overflow reservoir may be limited.
  • the depth of the overflow reservoir that is the distance between the reservoir opening and the top of the overflow reservoir, is less than 10 mm or in other embodiments, less than 5 mm. In other embodiments the depth may be limited to between 8 and 1 mm or between 3 and 1 mm.
  • FIG. 3B the distance between the adjacent edges of the overflow reservoir opening and the secondary groove bottom opening may be zero.
  • FIG. 3C further shows an overflow reservoir 36 formed by flaring an edge 46A of the secondary groove bottom opening 35.
  • the height of the overflow reservoir formed in this manner may be limited to less than 5 mm, or in other embodiments, less than 3 mm, less than 2 mm or less than 1 mm.
  • the height of the overflow reservoir in such embodiments is determined as the height h between the edge 46A of the secondary groove bottom opening 35 and the back face 43 of the tread band 30.
  • the overflow reservoir may be formed adjacent to the groove in a continuous arrangement or in a discontinuous arrangement.
  • An overflow reservoir formed in a continuous arrangement provides an overflow reservoir that is formed continuously along the length of the secondary groove bottom opening edge.
  • An overflow reservoir formed in a discontinuous arrangement is typically made up of a plurality of openings formed along a length of the secondary groove bottom opening edge so that the back face of the tread band breaks up the formation of the discontinuous overflow reservoir. Examples of such opening include, for example, trenches and holes.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the back face of a tread band showing examples of both continuous and discontinuous arrangements of the overflow reservoir.
  • the tread band 30 includes a secondary groove 39 that opens onto the back face 43 of the tread band 30.
  • An example of an overflow reservoir 36A in a continuous arrangement is provided as the overflow reservoir 36A is formed continuously along the length of the secondary groove bottom opening 35.
  • the adjacent edges of the overflow reservoir 36A and the secondary groove bottom opening 35 are shown to be separated by a distance D in this example.
  • FIG. 5 provides perspective views of exemplary shapes of an overflow reservoir. Illustrated as non-limiting examples are shapes that include triangular, semicircular and rectangular. The triangular shape may be further illustrated in FIG. 3B and the semicircular share illustrated in FIG. 3A in cross-sectional views.
  • the tread band 30 illustrated in FIG. 4 further provides examples of overflow reservoirs having discontinuous arrangements.
  • an overflow reservoir 36C having a discontinuous arrangement is shown as a series of trenches in a broken arrangement along the length of the secondary groove bottom opening 35.
  • the back face 43 of the tread band interrupts the overflow reservoir 36C making the reservoir a discontinuous arrangement.
  • overflow reservoirs 36D-36F formed in a discontinuous arrangement are provided.
  • the overflow reservoir comprises a plurality of discrete holes opening into the back face 43 of the tread band 30.
  • These holes may be of any shape suitable for the application including, for example, cylindrical, pyramidal, conical and/or cubical. It should be noted that the distance D between the adjacent edges of the reservoir and the secondary groove bottom opening does not have to be constant 36F but in other embodiments, the distance D may be constant.
  • FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional partially exploded view of an exemplary embodiment of a retreaded tire having a tread band with an overflow reservoir. While any tire may take advantage of the present invention, some embodiments are limited to heavy duty tires such as found on tractor-trailer rigs, dump trucks, waste hauling trucks, concrete mixer trucks, buses and so forth.
